Overpriced bicycle parts
Me: "3g seat clamp for 99 euros? That's like... 33000 euros per kg!"
Eric: "Bernhard is smart to go into the carbon business. No one else can make..."
[A few days later.]
Eric (quoting): "He only has a 30.0mm size. But 60 euros: 'i have seat clamb with 30,0mm in stock that will work price is 60 €'"
Me: "Why is it more expensive now? Tell him 'Don't € around with me... I will € him!'"
[A day later.]
Me: "I can use the university workshop to make lots of things..."
Eric: "Good, next time I send things to you and you make for me."
Me: "Sure, no problem. But I will charge money..."
Eric: "Wtf?"
Me: "Don't worry, my pricing scheme is very easy to understand. Frame, seatpost, whatever... doesn't matter what it is - 33000 euros per kg."
For dummies
Me: "They should write a book to add on to the 'for Dummies' series."
Shun: "On?"
Me: "Quantum Field Theory for Dummies"
Shun: "...not many people would read."
[A few minutes later...]
Me (quoting a source): "'I think it would be a good idea to spec up also on advanced integration techniques, including distributions and functionals.' You see? That's more like what I'm talking about! IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO SPEC UP ON ADVANCED INTEGRATION TECHNIQUES. SOUNDS MORE LIKE A RPG NOW."
Effects of puberty
Daryl: "Either that or the hormones... are giving you an unusual willingness to take risks."
Me: "So... hormones are the reasons behind why I'm writing code for four-vector computations in Minkowski space?"
Sleepiness
Mum: "Wake up, I bought food."

Me (mumbling): "I'm not tired or lazy... it's just that I can't overcome gravity."
Forgotten lyrics
*taking a shower after studying solid state physics*
"Alone for a while, I've been searching through the dark... for traces of the... love... you left- inside... my lonely heart... AHHH DISSOCIATION ENERGYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! NNNARRGHHH."
[A day later, at 4am in the morning...]
*recollecting the event and laughing to myself inside the toilet*
Sister's voice outside (suddenly): "Why are you laughing to yourself? Are you mad?"
Unwanted challenges
*dropped a Divine Rapier, which caused our team to lose a 15 kill unassailable lead*
Samuel (over voice communication): "It's all your fault lahhh."
Me: "Hey, at least I made the game worth playing..."
Sanitary wafers
Me: "Have you eaten these before?"
Eric: "WTF is that? Looks like Kotex."
Weak induction
Me: "I'm hungry... should I order McDonalds delivery?"
Shun: "Why are you always eating Macs?"
Me: "Huh? "Always"? I've only told you that I was ordering McDonalds once...
Data analysis
[My classmate was telling me about how well-coordinated and organized WoW raids are, and how they have to keep retrying and analyzing the data of failed attempts to 'min-max the DPS (damage per second) curve']
On one occasion: Fight started, 11:53:07. Fight ended, 11:53:10.
"There's not much data to analyze... It just says... that we got owned."
Reminds me of the mesh distortion problem with my previous fluids project...
Arguing over which units of measurement to use
[Inches are more commonly used for standard sizes, SI units are much neater to custom design with.]
A: "I'm a man of inches."
B: "I'm a man of millimetres."
C: "Hey are you making some other connotation...," *thinks a while, then looks at B and laughs*
[A few minutes later.]
A: "That's 13 and 3/4 inches."
B: "How long is that..." *removes a ruler to get an idea*
A: "Mm... that's about the length of...," in a soft tone, "...my..."
